What do you guys think about "Light Strip with PORSCHE Logo in Glacier Blue" with Chalk exterior? Looks cool in picture but I haven't seen one in real life. Wondering if it's worth the extra $850.

The other option is "Light Strip with PORSCHE Logo in Black". I've actually seen this one in person (check out the pictures I posted earlier in this thread if you're interested) and found it quite underwhelming. You can barely see "PORSCHE". Definitely not for me.

Ha! I feel black "PORSCHE" on a GTS kinda makes more sense because of the overall everything black theme? I can also see the argument for glacier blue to make it stand out and match your Neptune Blue exterior. Tough decision!

Are you also considering changing the LED headlights to glacier blue? A free option on GTS as well I believe.

Taycan 4s - Cayenne Coupe Hybrid - Carrera S 992

My trip says 21.1kWh/100km on the app - not sure how accurate that is. I had ~45% battery left when i got home and i was playing around with all sorts of features (innodrive, sport plus, etc). Weather yesterday was very hot like 31 degree celsius (i think around 90F).

Overnight, the car charged to 100% (im trying to figure out how to charge to 80%) and that gave me 368km of range.
thanks… now I’m on 30kwh/100km
I have driven softly for 350 km but it’s not as good my previous Taycan 4s.

probably have to pass more time for knowing my driving mode.

the dealer delivered the car with 50km done so I think these km probably was done in furious mode 😁

I have Porsche logo in Glacier blue and Chalk interior. Check out my pic. Everyone loves the blue logo. Really catch your attention and it’s not too flashy. I love it!!! Totally worth it.

I keep reading about the 80%. Why do we want to charge to 80% and not 100%?

They charge $850 extra for glacier blue? Why? I ordered a GTS and they didn't charge extra for it.

My understanding is that if you charge to 80%, battery life should last longer. Charging to max every time increases degradation of the battery cells. This is all theory though, as some forum members mentioned they have been charging to 100% for months/years and they're battery is fine. So personal preference I think.

Afaik, it’s not good for the battery if you charge it to 100% and park the car (for days).
I charge up to 100%, then I spend 10-15%…so it’s parked with 85% SoC.
